ASSEMBLY

3.Attach the drift cutters with the screws and lock nuts removed earlier.

Tire Pressure

Before operating, check tire pressure. Refer to the tire sidewall for exact tire manufacturer’s recommended or maximum psi.

NOTE: If the tire pressure is not equal in both tires, the unit may not travel in a straight path and the shave plate may wear unevenly.

Adjustments

Skid Shoes

The snow thrower skid shoes are adjusted upward at the factory for shipping purposes. Adjust them downward, if desired, prior to operat- ing the snow thrower.

CAUTION

It is not recommended that you operate this snow thrower on gravel as it can easily pick up and throw loose gravel, causing personal injury or damage to the snow thrower and surrounding property.

•For close snow removal on a smooth surface, raise skid shoes higher on the auger housing.

•Use a middle or lower position when the area to be cleared is uneven, such as a gravel driveway

NOTE: If you choose to operate the snow thrower on a gravel surface, keep the skid shoes in position for maximum clearance between the ground and the shave plate.

To adjust the skid shoes:

1.Loosen the six hex nuts (three on each side) and carriage bolts. Move skid shoes to desired position. See Fig. 8.
